Mainoo has been our best player. But we should get that wanker Foden off the pitch and get Cole on. Also Trippier for TAA.

You’re watching a different game to me.
Yes the coaching is clearly an issue but there are lots of guys nowhere near their individual levels.
Bellingham is so much better running at players than trying to sit deep and be a playmaker.
I've just re-read this whole thread from the beginning. It passed the time.
Just need Kane on corners for Iceland revisited
If we do get a new PM on Thursday his first step should be calling the FA and demanding Southgate is sacked.
I'm watching in a pub, and it's not even very busy, and everyone is pretty silent and meh about the whole thing.
It isn't slow and disjointed because all the players have forgotten how to pass and move. It's slow and disjointed because they've not been set up to play effectively together. There's an absolute fuckton of elite offensive talent out there standing around waiting for someone to actually make runs.
It's so pedestrian. Any chance of Ange ball taking over? Let's have some fun at least.
Our one trick seems to be trying to punt it long down the right to Saka.
These aren't players out of form. Pretty much everyone in this team has had a superb season, this is entirely an issue of coaching.
Most of these players do not play 4-2-3-1 week in week out. Mainoo, Guehi, Pickford(!).
Even all of Southgate’s “success” has been 3-4-3. Kane unsuited to lone striker role, Foden not a left winger, Rice more than a DM. Trippier not a left-back.
It’s all down to the head coach.
We may as well get Kane off and see if that fixes everything.
Disgusting if we go out to Slovakia in a tournament where we have the best players and the easiest draw.
There's some laughably dead legs out there. Massive structural issues in terms of availability of an early pass to break the shape/ crack the press. No runs, the man on the ball only sees faces coming towards him. Nobody with the range of passing to conjure up a miracle.
Southgate has bowed to pressure and picked a squad that can't play to his game plan, but not trialled any other game plans, or trained for them, or even mentioned them in passing by the looks of the game.
The twat doesn't even have the gumption to make a single substitution.
There is no midfield. Take off tripper and walker. Bring gomez in. Bring on Palmer. Fill midfield. If you look Slovakia always are outnumbering us in the middle of the park. It is so slow and no one is moving into spaces to break the lines. We need that extra player in midfield and Kane has been useless. Stay up cunt or get off the field. I would replace him with Watkins unless we are confident we can make it to penalties.
How in God’s name do we not understand that no-one is in the mid. Every fucking game.
Started off spread across the field again. What the fuck are we doing!!!!!????
Nothing has changed.
Chicago: Touchline coaching.
Setting aside the obvious offside, Trippier was one on one with the keeper, it's a horrible missed chance
